them as contentedly as though they were
beds of down"
FRIDAY-Anolher Spring day. -.

the tearing down of the old protestant"
Church building, afterward used as the
Orange store, disappears every vestige of
of good old father Abbott in
that part of town. He preached in that
Did building, and we attended Sunday
School there, long before the war. And
rarely has such preaching been heard in
Jackson, as that good old man did. He
preached in the old building
corner of Church and Pearl. 1t was in
this building that the late John Swanson
IS said to have played joke on certain
local preacher of that day. The preacher
spoke at great length, and the congrega-

was an officer of the Church, and had the
key, went solemnly up to the preacher,
and, handing him the key, said: Broth
